Xtie Whitman wasn't so bad, 'cause she wasn't really a right-wing, neo-con god-botherer. Fat Bas-turd, OTOH, isn't even conscious most of the day, as the needs of his stomach so preoccupy his tiny brain, that he passes out frequently ( & stays out- remember he wass already hospitalized for being a fat fuck!) Let's see if he can even drag his disgusting, Jabba-like girth to the podium, for the repunk nat'l convention; he'll prob need @ least a Segway! Fuck him & fuck all of you clueless Jerseyites who voted for him, & are now reaping exactly what you sowed, & so richly deserve! |

Treyfish (OP) User ID: 14756837 United States 08/17/2012 09:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks for the pinnage Unemployment rate up in 44 states ...Nationwide, hiring improved in July after three months of tepid job gains. But the national unemployment rate ticked up to 8.3 percent from 8.2 percent. Monthly job gains have averaged 150,000 this year. That's barely enough to accommodate population growth. As a result, the unemployment rate is the same as when the year began. Still, 31 states gained jobs in July, while 19 lost them. Unemployment rates can rise in a state even when more jobs are created if more people start looking for work. People who are out of work are counted as unemployed only if they're looking for a job. In the most closely contested states in the presidential race, unemployment has fallen over the past year. But it has started to tick up in recent months. In Nevada, the rate rose to 12 percent in July from 11.6 percent the previous month. That's the highest rate in the nation, though it's still much lower than a year ago, when it was 13.8 percent. And in Michigan, the rate has increased to 9 percent, from 8.5 percent two months earlier. Unemployment also increased in Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Colorado, Wisconsin and New Hampshire..... [link to www.statesman.com] |

[link to www.statesman.com] Funny, but NJ Unemployment announced in June that the extended Federal benefits were being discontinued as of July because we no longer qualified. Apparently we as doing so well! I must admit there are plenty of minimum wage, 20 hr per week, no benefit jobs out there. Being that NJ is one of the most expensive states to live in this means you only have to wok 4 of these bullshit jobs to be able to pay your taxes and buy 1,200.00/month health insurance. Oh wait that's only 37k a year, oh well, fuck the health care. SWEET! |
